...play is really a group of three one-act pieces, with a prologue and an epilogue. It follows the fortunes of three children who have left home to pursue their individual fortunes, and is a clever portrayal of the powerful influence on them of their parents. The dialogue of the prologue takes the spectator directly to the scenes of the intervening acts, and the epilogue picks the action up exactly where the prologue leaves off. Though similar in construction, it is an entirely different type of play than the Craig Prize Plays of the last two years. "Believe Me, Xantippe...

The New York stars of the prize play are John Mason and Jane Cowl, both admirably fitted for the parts for which they are cast,-as Judge Samuel Filson and Eilen Neat...
...meeting of the play committee of the Cercle Francais it was decided to give three one-act plays next fall instead of one long one. The committee finally selected the following: "L'Ecole des belles-mores," by Eugene Brieux; "L'Intruse," by Maurice Maeterlinck; and "Les deux sourds," by Moinaux.
